We are experimenting with QP for report generation/output. After reviewing the forums/sample code/manual we can't seem to determine the answer to the following 2 questions:

 

1. Our report data is pulled from a DB via a recordset object in ADO/VB6. As we move through the recordset we use something similar to the following (simplified):

 

...

QP.DrawText 20, lngYPos, TextValuePulledFromADODB1

lngYPos = lngYPos + 10

 

Is this the best way/only way to do this (incrementing the Y position for each new line)?

 

2. How do we know when to create a new PDF page when outputting? If we have some large amount of text that could span more than one page, how can we instruct QP to simply flow the text on to the next/new page. Currently it just gets truncated at the end of the first page.

 

For example suppose we used QP.DrawWrappedText, do we need to figure out the exact position within our paragraph/text that a new page should occur at and then use NewPage at that point?

 

Thanks in advance.
